Brahma Photocell FC8/A 18210033

The Brahma FC8/A photocell, SKU 18210033, is a flame sensor with a compact design and a cable length of 620 mm. It features high heat resistance, durable insulation, and stable design, making it suitable for detecting luminous flames in gas or oil burners. This photocell type sensor sends a signal to the burner control to confirm combustion.

When selecting a replacement photocell of this kind, ensure the detection principle (UV or IR), spectral response, response time, cable length and termination, and mounting sleeve or adapter match the original. Verify compatibility with the burner control's sensitivity range and output signal type. Cross-reference the manufacturer code against burner documentation if available.

Common failure modes for photocells include a contaminated or clouded window reducing light transmission, an aged cell that no longer responds reliably, or a damaged sheath or cable causing continuity breaks. Symptoms on the equipment may include failure to detect flame, burner lockout, or intermittent operation. Check the photocell window for cleanliness and the cable for damage.
